Castle of Horror: The Blob Suggests Teen Gangs Are Here to Save Us All

Castle of Horror: The Blob Suggests Teen Gangs Are Here to Save Us All

We discuss the 1958 film The Blob, often cited as the film debut of Steve McQueen. What is it about this independent film about a strange visitor from another planet — one that immediately starts growing and consuming every living thing it encounters — that continues to command attention today? We discuss Steve McQueen (27 here but playing a teenager), teen gangs of monster movies, and blazing 1950s color.
